ing the invention.

My invention ('onsisto of :1 r tary dir'li Washer, pi'ofoi'a'bly cylindrical in i no, lornuin two part-s and provided on its l'lili-tllfl." v. il li a porioratocl lining hoot or n'i'cho in form: pockets, sells, and carrier-i; and mippoi'iod lay end posts or plates braced at their lowvr ends and a stationary dish-receptacle within the casing.

The pur oso oi" ihis im'ention is to rovidu simple an ofliciont means ior washing dishcs in a rapid manner, inexpensive, and com-gym iont.

The cylindrical drum or casing is partly filled with hot water to wash. the dishes. Tho casing-0r drum is now revolved by any suit able moons. Thu a large part of tho hotly of the water is carried upward to n vermin angle and discharged onto the dishes; and TQHP' tacles, findin its way to the bottom to lw a min usocl, Phedirty visitor is now drawn 0?! by releasing the stopper shown 01' my lilo ing or releasing the 11 per artof 0 Niall The lower part can "no ti ted or tho wait i thrown out bodily into a vessel or sink. A clean supply of hot water is now provided; the casing again rovolvod and when done the water is again. drown oil or thrown out and the dishes, lining hot, dry themselves.

My invention is disclosed in tho following description and accompanying drawings, in which-- Figure 1 is a plan view with the upper part of the cylinder thrown hock. Fig. 2 1s a van tioal longitudinal section, and Fi 3 ii transvorso section on the line a: u: of big. 2. Fig. 4 is a detailed view showing the mounting of shaft 9.

My device com prises a revolving drum, preferably of a cylindrical shape and divided into two parts on 411 hour tho lnvdinl lino, 111* r vlvirly shown. in Fig. 1%. inside thioyliii dinoal druiri 1. 2| sonii \'lindrioal ilisl'i-roco r tut-lo 22 nun-ruininhly support-0d.

whereby the two parts of the cylinder are held firmly together. The eyes 17 are each rovided with a screw 26 and nuts 27, where- )y the position of such eyes above the braeketa 28 may be changed or regulated to suit any wear or warping of either part of the wa ter-rore ilfng'lc or of any other part.

The dish-receptacle 22, as will be seen, is

1 -.-i removal'ily supported by means of the books 21, taking over the bar 21 at one end, and the slotted bearing-plate 21', resting upon the shaft 9 at the other end. Handles 30 are provided upon thereon tacle 22, so that'the i5 atter may be readily ifted out of the maohine. The dishreceptacle is of open-work construction, its ends being perforated, as shown in. Fig. 3. and its sides and bottom heing, as shown made up of perforated stripe.

go At 24 I have shown what may be termed feet. These are ivoted to the bottom of the lower part of t 1e cylinder and may be burned, as shown in Fig. 3, when it is desired to lift the cylinder out of its frame by the '25 handholds and stand it on a table or floor, so as to support the loweup art of the cylinder securely or the entire eylinderiof the casing. After the dish-trayhas been placed in position and the lower part of the Wlinller has been 3o partlyfilled with hot water andlye or soap, if needed, the upper part fastened down and theeylinder turned by the crank shown or by any other means. The water caught and car ried up by the pockets or carriers is d ischargcd 5 through the perforations of the plate 15 onto and between the dishes, keeping up a constant circulation. At the conclusion ol the o ieration the water may be drawn oil at 23, t e cylinder being thereafter filled with the an rinsing-water, or the whole body of the water in the casing may be discharged into a vessel or sink after the upper part has been turned back by turning the handle or casing.

- l. The conil'iination, with a rotatable water-holding drum having its axis substantially horizontal, and provided on its inner periphery with ineloscd wetor-elevation pockets vloswd exteriorly by the wall of the drum 5:: and having perforations in their inner walls substantially as described, of a dish-holder mounted within the drum and arranged to receive the water discharged from the perforations of the pockets.

2. In a dish-washing machine, the combi nation of a rotating impcrlorate water-holder rovided on its interior with a perforated liu mg bent or arched so as to form pockets or cells, and a stationary dish-holder.

A dish-washer ronnn'isirm a cylindrical casing provided with means lor mounting it upon posts for rotation, and rotatable legs: attached to its bottom for supporting it in an upright position when removed from 1hrposts, said logs being adjustable to be kept out of the way during the rotation ol said washer.

5. A dish-washer comprising an upper and a lower casing and a stationary dish-holder, said lower casing being provided on its bottom with horizontally-rotatable legs or supports which can be turned substantially parallcl with and coincident with the bottom or turncd at an angle thereto to support said lower casing, forming feet.

6. In a dish-washing machine, the combination, with a water holder, of a trunnion passing through one end of the water-holder and arranged to support the same, means for so orting the opposite end of said waterhol er, a cross )iece inside the water-holder and united to the trunnion, and a dish-hold iru tray within the water-holder and proviiled with means for detachably engaging said cross-piece at one end and means for sup orting the opposite end of said dish ho d er.

7. In a dish-washing machine, the cornbination with a water-holding drum formed in two parts, each part being substantially onehalf of the drum, of a plurality of screw-eyes adjustabl scoured to one of the parts of the drum an adjustable with relation thereto, straps provided with hooks engaging the rea ectivc screw-e es, said straps bearing on t 0 other art 0 the drum, levers enga ing the ends oi thestra s. and means for he] ing said levers in their licking position.

8. In combination, a rotatable, two- )art drum, means to secure the parts thereol together, stops adjacent the meeting edges of each of the parts thereof, perforated metal linings in each of the parts and retained in place behind the stops and spaced away from the walls ofthe drum at intervals, an a sta tionarv' dish-rcceptacle in said drum.

drum, means to secure the parts thereo' togather, stops adjacent the meeting edges of the parts, a perforated lining resting against the walls of the drum at intervals and spaced away therefrom between the regions where it rests thereon and held in place by the stops, and a stationary dish-receptacle in the said drum.

ll). The combination of a horizontal, cylindrical drum divided into two plirts slightly above the middle thereof, means to rotatablv i support the lower part of the drum. stops ad- Ljacent the meeting ed es of the two parts of 5 the drum, perforated min spaced away at 5 intervals from the walls 0 the drum and re- 1 taincd in placeby being sprung in behind the 1 stops, and a stationary dishrreceptacle in l said drum.

9. To combination, a rotatable twoart ICC ILThe combination with adrum, of a crank-shaft secured centrally thereto at one end thereof and extending within the drum,

in the drum through which the bolt asses stops on the inside of the drum, a pe oratcd" lining in the drum and held in place behind the stops, and a frame wherein the bolt is sup orted non-rotatabl .and wherein the sha tissupported rotata ly.

12. In a dish-washer, the combination with a rotatable imperforate water-holdin drum having its axis substantialle horizonta of a stationary dish-holder mounted within the drum, and an arched perforated lining attached to the inner pcri hery of the drum and arranged to form pocliets, substantially as described, said pockets being closed exteriorly by the drum.

13. In a dish-Washer, the combination with a rotatable imperforate wate'r-holdin drum having its axis substantially horizonta of a statlonary dish-holder mounted within "the drum, and an arched perforated lining removably attached to the inner periphery of the drum and arranged to form pockets, substantially as described, said pockets being closed exteriorly b the drum.
